Great South Run - Angie Spall

I am running the Great South Run in support of DEBRA. I am not only supporting this charity but also have Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex myself. The simplex version means that it is inherited - my mum, younger sister and eldest son also have this - and makes itself known through blistering of the feet and hands predominantly. Our warmer climate means that this is a problem almost all year now and, if you know me, it's the reason I'm in sandals 90% of the year!

Whilst this form of EB is painful and life altering, the dystrophic version is life threatening (you may have heard of it as butterfly skin) and I cannot imagine how it feels to live with it. So, I want to raise funds to help support DEBRA fins a cure and ways to alleviate the suffering it causes.
